3 Time-Saving Tools to Automate Common Business Tasks

There’s a trend that’s growing where people are automating more than ever before. By automating your marketing and business, you will have more time in your day to do the things that are important. These 3 automation apps and technologies below have assisted me in doing just that – automating parts of my life — and can assist you as well!

Here are the tools:

IFTTT

What is IFTTT?

IFTTT, like Zapier, is a leading connectivity platform that assists millions of people and thousands of businesses in transforming their products into integrated, connected services. They develop a standard, low-code communication protocol for the world's various apps and services. For example, you can link two social media accounts, such as Facebook and Twitter, and have them auto post to one or more of them. Perhaps you enjoy posting on Facebook but don't have time to share your posts on Twitter. Set it up so that it posts automatically whenever you share an update.

Automate.io

What is Automate.io?

Automate.io is a modern platform for integrating cloud apps. You can develop basic one-to-one integrations or complicated workflows without scripting by using a drag-and-drop interface.

There workflows, like Zapier, will integrate with your most popular apps.
